I don't mind the straight on camera view for a little while (These people worked hard ; they deserve some recognition.), but I got annoyed at looking at the side of their face as if I was watching them talk to someone else. :)

@ what have you built?

Short and curly.

@ those are thiccer

Yup! I believe it was Darth's if memory serves me correct. Gee, that movie inspired many to pursue the sciences. Including moi.

When it is under operational it can generate intense x-rays which would be immediately fatal so the modules are usually marked radioactive but under normal operation no body is allowed inside storage ring tube

When charged particles (in this case electrons, which are very light, compared to something like proton or ions), are accelerated (i.e. their direction is deflected to go from straight to go straight but in a different direction, even by small angle), they emit electromagnetic radiation. So photons. If they travel very fast, and you deflect them very strongly in a very short amount of space and time, you get very high energy (frequency) photons, in this case X-rays. Various points along the circle (in fact it is more like 200 segments of straight line, each deflecting just by a little), electromagnets are deflecting by slightly different amounts, allowing to very the frequency / energy of the X-rays. Very high energy X-rays , especially if they are very well controlled (i.e. their frequency is very well controlled, and tightly focused) have a lot of uses, in crystalography, chemistry, biological and material research, to understand what is going inside stuff, or even how it is built on atomic scale (i.e. determining types and location of atoms in a unknown molecule for example).

Because sadly productions like this are meant to be clearly digestable to the likes of geriatric congressman, not deep dives into science. Still happy it exist but the audience it expects is disappointing

The new machine can generate X-rays up to 500 times brighter than the old one. Researchers will be able to see materials at levels they couldn’t have before, like the structure of atoms, etc. There are quite a few light sources around the world, but the APSU is now one of the most powerful.

Why are you watching this video?

Let me guess - you figure we should still be on horse and buggy's?

Thanks for watching! Your comment helps us realize how many people may not know about the scientific advances that the APS has contributed to over the years. Millions of Americans benefit from APS research. From the microelectronics in your phone to the batteries in electric vehicles to the COVID and RSV vaccines, discoveries at the APS have tangible, real-world impacts

I care, big time. Money well spent.

If you studied the physics you'd realize the string implication that photon is you

You clearly have no idea how much mankind has already benefited by the research completed by these devices.

Well they could develop better vaccines .... oh yeah ; you probably thought that was a hoax. You guys voted in Trump, and now we get to turn our watches back 100 years and marvel at how he is able to afford so many billion dollar yachts while they take away your Social Security.
